    Thanks Jeff & Kenik, It does seem to be an odd unit hopefully not in a bad way, it's currently in my 71' Targa with a 2.7 and webers,it seems to handle the torque fine, I just don't want to stomp on it from a dead stop thou, heard stories of pulling first gear out . My car used to belong to Norbert Nieslony, in Palo Alto Ca., heard he's a pretty handy guy, he installed the motor and I wouldn't be suprised if he did this swap also. Hmmmm interesting. Good gears for this set up? Thanks; David

    Norbert was quite a wrench. he's fully retired now after several years being semi-retired. IIRC, his shop was in San Carlos. he was originally @ Howard Motors in Belmont during the Hoffman era. Porsche took over North American distribution ca. '61-'62 & Norbert opened his own place. I believe your 902/16 was special order on some '69 912s & has a 6:29 R&P set vs. the conventional 7:31. gear stack is a little different as well owing to the difference in final drive. A GA O U Z.

    more info here;

    other than that you have 901 quality gear sets (vs. 914 type)

    I have two of the 902/16's. They seem to be original equipment 5 speed 901 type boxes installed in 1969 912's. Not sure what the ratios are. Still doing the research.

    However, I have never actually shifter either one of them. One of them came in the car I am restoring (brought it home on a trailer) and the other came from a parts car.

    Not to mention, it may be running a shorter ring and pinion, which would be common on a 912!

    At 70 mph I,m seeing 3,800 RPM in 5th gear, would that be consistant with the 29:23 ratio assuming speedo is accurate ?
